Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving
D C D C D C D C D C G
He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling
G F G F G F G F G F Em
He called you his child, said honey get wise to his game
G F G F G F G F G F Em
He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same

There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us

So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus

And it's all over now
Bm
Don't you worry no more
C G Gsus4 G
Gonna go west to the sea
C G
The greyhound is swaying
Bm
And the radio is playing
C D
Some blues for baby and me
Bm Em
And the highway looks like it never did
Am G C
Lord it looks so sweet and so free
G Bm
And I can't forget that trip to the west
C D7 C----INTRO
Singing blues for baby and me
Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise
It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky
I called you my child, said honey now this is our game
There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
D C D C D C D C Bm Am G
